2007 Pontiac G6 complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ERRONEOUSLY. THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,000.

BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON RANDOMLY AND WILL NOT ALWAYS ILLUMINATE WHEN PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. *TT

BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT TOUCHING THE BRAKE PEDAL. *TR

WHILE DRIVING HOME WITH MY BROTHER FOLLOWING ME IN A SEPARATE CAR, HE TOLD ME THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON MY CAR WERE ON THE WHOLE TIME, ONLY TURNING OFF WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES (BRIEFLY) BEFORE TURNING BACK ON. I HAVE NOTICED THIS WHEN I START THE CAR VIA REMOTE (THE BRAKE LIGHTS AND CHMSL ARE ON) AND IN REFLECTIONS AS I DRIVE... IF I APPLY THE BRAKES HARD, THE LIGHTS WILL GO OFF BRIEFLY, BUT COME BACK ON AS I DRIVE. I DO NOT DRIVE WITH ONE FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, AND THIS HAS BEEN A CONSTANT PROBLEM I HAVE BEEN NOTICING. THERE HAVE NOT BEEN ANY INCIDENTS WITH OTHER VEHICLES (I'M ASSUMING THEY'RE KEEPING FAR AWAY BECAUSE MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON), AND I AM AWARE OF THE NHTSA INVESTIGATION INTO THE CHEVROLET MALIBU FROM THAT YEAR FOR THE SAME ISSUE. MY CAR IS A 2007 PONTIAC G6 GT CONVERTIBLE. AS WELL, THE STABILITY CONTROL (THE GT CONVERTIBLES WERE EQUIPPED WITH IT) INTERMITTENTLY COMES ON WITH AN ERROR MESSAGE... THE DEALER HAS USED A SCANNER TO CHECK THE PROBLEM, BUT NOTHING HAS REGISTERED IN THE COMPUTER HISTORY. *TR

MY 2007 PONTIAC G6 BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATING WHEN THE BRAKE IS NOT DEPRESSED. IT IS HARD TO ALSO MOVE THE GEAR SHIFTER FROM PARK AT TIMES. ALSO, AT THE SAME TIME MY BRAKES LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY MY CRUISE CONTROL STOPPED OPERATING. I FEEL THE BRAKE LIGHTS WORKING IN THE OPPOSITE MANNER IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WHICH CAN LEAD OTHERS DRIVERS TO ALSO NOT BE SAFE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD REMAIN ILLUMINATED WHEN THE BRAKES WERE NOT ENGAGED AND FAILED TO ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD DISENGAGE INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 93,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DECELERATING, THE BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE AND ERRONEOUSLY ILLUMINATED WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS NOT DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE.

BRAKE LIGHTS WONT GO ON WHEN APPLYING BRAKES, THIS IS VERY BAD. THIS PROBLEM CAN LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT, INJURY OR DEATH. I DEMAND A RECALL RIGHT AWAY. *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS NOT WORKING WHEN APPLYING BRAKES OR STAY ON. I AM VERY WORRIED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IT IS VERY BAD, AND I DEMAND A RECALL FROM GENERAL MOTORS INC., TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *TR

MY HEADLIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. WE HAD THE LIGHT BULB AND FUSES REPLACED BUT IT APPEARED THAT THE CORDS WERE CORRODED AND BURNED. WE HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE HEADLAMP. ONCE WE DONE THAT, THEY LASTED ABOUT A 9 MONTHS TO A YEAR BEFORE THAT SET WENT OUT, REPLACE THE HEAD LAMP AGAIN AND STILL HAD THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

STEERING MAKING A CLUNK NOISE WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL AROUND BENDS. *TR

IT IS OFTEN VERY HARD TO SHIFT THE CAR INTO GEAR. SOMETIMES PRESSING THE BRAKE VERY HARD WITH 2 FEET WILL ALLOW IT TO SHIFT, OTHER TIMES WE HAVE TO SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND ON AND THEN PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL VERY HARD AND IT WILL SHIFT. NOW THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. THEY STAY ON WHEN THE BRAKE IS NOT DEPRESSED. THEY SOMETIMES GO OFF WHEN THE BRAKE IS DEPRESSED. THIS CAR BELONGS TO MY TEEN DAUGHTER. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON WITHOUT THE BRAKE PEDDLE BEING PRESSED WHEN BRAKE PEDDLE PRESSED BRAKE LIGHTS GO OFF . I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED AT THE A TRAFFIC LIGHT . ALSO HAVE BEEN WARNED SEVERAL TIMES BY MOTORIST. PLEASE HELP BEFORE SOMEONE IS BADLY INJURED. THIS PROBLEM SEAMS TO BE VERY NUMEROUS AMONG PONTIAC G6 OWNERS. *TR

WHEN BRAKING, THE LIGHTS OPERATE INCORRECTLY. WHEN THE BRAKES ARE DEPRESSED, THE LIGHTS ARE OFF AND WHEN THE BRAKES ARE NOT PRESSED, THE LIGHTS ARE ON. ALSO WHEN THIS OCCURS, THE CRUISE CONTROLS FAILS TO FUNCTION. ALSO WHEN THIS OCCURS, THE BRAKE MUST BE DEPRESSED AGGRESSIVELY TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THIS ARE THE SYMPTOMS SIMILAR TO SERVICE BULLETIN 10032206 / SB-08-05-22-009A. *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON WITHOUT PRESSURE BEING APPLIED TO THE BRAKE PEDAL. BRAKE LIGHTS GO OFF WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. BRAKE LIGHT MALFUNCTION CAUSES THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM TO WORK ERRATICALLY. *TR

A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE PRESENT WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING, BEING DRIVEN AND WHEN STOPPED. FUEL LEAK FROM AROUND THE FUEL TANK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT HAVING ENGAGED THE BRAKES AND WHEN THE CONTACT HAD ENGAGED THE BRAKES, THE LIGHT WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE. THE FAILURE ALSO AFFECTED THE CRUISE CONTROL AND WOULD CAUSE IT TO INDEPENDENTLY DISENGAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION SOLENOID TO BECOME DEFECTIVE AND AS A RESULT, IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 80,070. UPDATED 10/17/13*CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME HARD TO TURN. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO REPLACED THE STEERING PUMP HOWEVER THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE MANUFACTURER'S STEERING WHEEL RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000. THE APPROXIMATE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 14,000.

THE BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT DEPRESSED, AND TURN OFF ONCE THE PEDAL IS APPLIED. HTTP://WWW.DENVERPOST.COM/AUTO/NEWS/CI_23449828?SOURCE=RSS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING ASSIST WOULD SPORADICALLY FAIL WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE FAILURE WOULD MAKE IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING POWER MOTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 71,000. UPDATED 09/18/13*LJ THE CONSUMER HAS SINCE SOLD THE VEHICLE. UPDATED 09/19/13

I AM 16 YRS OLD AND I WAS DRIVING MY CAR THROUGH TOWN..IT CHIMED A NOISE AND SHOWED POWER STEERING ON DASH! STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. SCARED ME I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING, BUT SLAM ON THE BRAKES.! *TR

AS WITH OTHER G6'S. MINE HAS THE ISSUE WHERE THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS ENGAGED AND THEY TURN OFF ONLY WHEN BRAKE. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

WHEN THE 2007 PONTIAC G6 IS IN DRIVE THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE INDICATED BRIGHT AS IF THE BRAKE PEDAL IS BEING PRESSED. WHEN THE PEDAL IS NOT PRESSED THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED AS IF THE PEDAL IS BEING PRESSED. WHEN THE PEDAL IS PRESSED TO APPLY THE BRAKES THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO FROM BRIGHT TO OFF INDICATING THE BRAKES ARE NOT BEING APPLIED WHEN, IN FACT, THEY ARE. *TR

APPROX. 2+ YRS AGO I NOTICED THAT WHEREIN PRESSING ON THE GAS FROM A DEAD STOP AT A LIGHT RESULTED IN NOTHING BUT HIGH ENGINE REVS. AFTER ASECOND OR TWO THE TRANSMISSION WOULD ENGAGE CAUSING THE OCCUPANTS INSIDE TO BE SEVERELY THROWN BACK IN THEIR SEATS. HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY AT ANY TEMP AND ANY DRIVING CONDITION. SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS A COUPLE OF TIMES A DAY,SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T HAPPEN FOR A COUPLE WEEKS. TOOK CAR IN AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO ERROR CODES THAT THEY COULDN'T HELP ME UNLESS THEY COULD REPLICATE IT THEMSELVES. BEEN A FEW TIMES THAT I PULLED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC INTO A PARKING LOT OR STREET AND HAD THE TRANS. HESITATE. NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. NOT SURE WHAT THE EXACT ISSUE IS BUT I'M NOT SHELLING OUT $4000 FOR A NEW TRANS. ON A CAR THAT ONLY HAS 42,000 MILES ON IT. DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR SOMETIMES. ESPECIALLY WHEN IT HAPPENS ON WET OR ICY ROADS AS THE TRACTION CONTROL ENGAGES AND THE WHEELS JUST SPIN LEAVING ME STUCK IN TRAFFIC UNTIL THEY FIND PURCHASE ENOUGH TO GET GOING. IF THIS VEHICLE HAD 95,000-100,000 ON THE ODOMETER I WOULD GET A NEW TRANS. BUT AS I STATED BEFORE WITH SUCH LOW MILES IT SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING. GM NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS. ALSO HAVE THE BRAKE LIGHTS THAT STAY ON THEN TURN OFF WHEN THE PEDAL GETS PRESSED. FIXED THAT 4 TIMES AND IT STILL HAPPENS. DON'T KNOW IF THESE ARE RELATED BUT IF ITS SOMETHING ELECTRICAL IT COULD BE. PLEASE HELP ME GET THIS RECTIFIED *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS WERE REPORTED ON WHILE I'M NOT DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL AND GOING OFF WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKES IN. I STARTED HAVING TROUBLE SHIFTING OUT OF PARK, AND MY CRUISE CONTROL WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON WHEN NOT PRESSING ON THE BRAKES BUT WHEN PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL THEY GO OFF SO PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHEN YOU ARE STOPPING. *TR

DRIVING ALONG AT DUSK AND NOTICED THAT THE CHMSL WAS LIT IN THE REAR-VIEW MIRROR. STEPPED ON BRAKE PEDAL AND CHMSL WENT OUT. DROVE ANOTHER 200 FEET AND LIGHT WENT BACK ON. REPEATED SEQUENCE SEVERAL TIMES. BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON AND THEN GO OUT WHEN BRAKE PEDAL IS PUSHED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT AN ESTIMATED 45 MPH THE STEERING WHEEL PRECEDED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY FROM LEFT TO RIGHT AND WE IMMEDIATELY PULLED TO SIDE OF ROAD TO INSPECT THE FRONT WHEELS TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. TRIED TO TAKE OFF AND DRIVE AGAIN AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY THEREFORE PULLED OVER AGAIN AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK. PAID $100.00 TO HAVE IT TOWED. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WE PURCHASED IT FROM AND THEY PROCEEDED TO TELL US THAT THERE WERE SERVICE BULLETINS ON THIS MATTER WITH THE CAR. THEY PROCEEDED TO TELL US THAT OUR CAR WAS NOT COVERED BECAUSE IT HAD THE WRONG VIN NUMBER UNDER WARRANTY. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION SAID THAT BASICALLY IT WAS GOING TO BE OUR PROBLEM AND WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT TO GET FIXED EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE SERVICE BULLETINS ISSUED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THEY CHARGED ME $40 TO CHECK IT OUT, PLUS QUOTED US A PRICE OF OVER $800 TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND PLUS THE TOWING PROBLEM THAT GM HAS PRODUCED DANGEROUS SITUATIONS WITH THERE PRODUCT AND WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THERE PRODUCT. THIS IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE CHECKED ON CONSIDERING THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE BEEN LODGED ABOUT THE SAME THING HAPPENING TO OTHER PEOPLE WHILE DRIVING. I WOULD LIKE A RESPONSE AS TO HOW THEY ARE ABLE TO GET AWAY WITH THIS PROBLEM AND WILL FIX SOME CARS WITH THE PROBLEM AND NOT OTHER ONES. THANK YOU. *TR

ADVISED BY A FELLOW MOTORIST THAT I WAS "RIDING MY BRAKES" AROUND THE END OF 2010 WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 77 THROUGH VERY HILLY TERRAIN. NOT UNDERSTANDING WHAT HE MEANT AS I WAS CLEARLY NOT RIDING MY BRAKES IN THE NORMAL SENSE BUT MAYBE HAD TAPPED THEM ONCE OR TWICE TO SLOW DOWN GOING DOWN HILL, I DISMISSED THIS AND FIGURED HE WAS ANGRY. END OF 2011/EARLY 2012 ADVISED BY A FRIEND THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ALWAYS ON WHILE SHE FOLLOWED ME AND WE SPOKE ON THE PHONE. I DISCOVERED THROUGH THIS CONVERSATION THAT THEY WOULD GO OFF WHEN I ACTUALLY PRESSED THE BRAKE. TOOK THIS TO A CERTIFIED GM MECHANIC WHO COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I ADVISED THEM OF THE SERVICE BULLETIN WHICH HAD BEEN ISSUED FOR THE 2006 MODEL YEAR OF MY VEHICLE THAT INDICATED THIS SAME PROBLEM AND SHOWED A FIX FOR IT. THEY FIXED IT ACCORDING TO THAT BULLETIN AND IT SEEMED TO WORK AT THE TIME. JULY 2013, DISCOVERED WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT ON A SIDE ROAD (COULD SEE THE STREET SIGNS ILLUMINATE BEHIND ME AS I PASSED THEM) THAT ONCE AGAIN THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE WORKING IN REVERSE, THEY WERE ON WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND WOULD GO OFF WHEN I BRAKE. TOOK IT BACK TO THE SAME GM MECHANIC WHO HAD TEMPORARILY FIXED IT THE FIRST TIME. THEY REPLACED THE BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR AS THEY FOUND THAT TO BE READING INCORRECTLY AT TIMES AND RELEASED THE CAR BACK TO ME ADVISING THAT IT WAS WORKING AT THAT TIME. THE DAY AFTER I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC, I HAD A FRIEND FOLLOWED ME TO CONFIRM THAT

I WAS GETTING INTO MY CAR TO DRIVE HOME AND WHEN I PUT THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION AND TURNED THE CAR ON, I NOTICED THAT MY REAR BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON. I GOT OUT OF THE CAR TO DOUBLE CHECK IF THEY WERE REALLY ON OR NOT. I THEN GOT BACK INTO THE CAR AND I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE LIGHTS TURNED OFF. EVER SINCE THEN, THE CAR GOES BACK AND FORTH WITH THIS PROBLEM. WHEN I AM DRIVING, THE LIGHTS WILL COME ON AS I ACCELERATE AND THEN WHEN I PRESS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL THE LIGHTS WILL COME OFF. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT SOCKET MELTED. *TR

THE FUEL PUMP MODULE WAS LEAKING FUEL. THIS YEAR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL, BUT IT WAS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT THE OTHER PONTIAC G6'S WERE HAVING. *TR

OUR ELEC POWER STEERING IS GOING. IN CHECKING THE INTERNET I NOTE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. I NOTE IN CANADA WHERE CARS ARE MANUFACTURED DIFFERENTLY THAN HERE IN THE USA THEY HAVE RECALLED THE PONT G6 FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM. I WOULD SUGGEST YOU LOOK AT THERE DATA AND INVESTIGATE THE SAME. CANADA'S NOTICE IS BELOW: A GRAND TOTAL OF 67,414 SEDANS ARE BEING RECALLED BY GM INCLUDING THE CHEVROLET MALIBU AND MALIBU MAXX (2005, 2006, 2008), PONTIAC G6 (2005, 2006, 2008), AND SATURN AURA (2008). THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING MAY EXPERIENCE A SUDDEN LOSS OF STEERING ASSIST THAT COULD OCCUR AT ANY TIME WHILE DRIVING. A MESSAGE WOULD BE DISPLAYED ON THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTRE AND A CHIME WOULD SOUND TO INFORM THE DRIVER. STEERING CONTROL CAN BE MAINTAINED, AS THE VEHICLE WILL REVERT TO A MANUAL STEERING MODE, BUT REQUIRES GREATER DRIVER EFFORT AT LOW SPEEDS. THIS INCREASES THE RISK OF A COLLISION. OWNERS ARE ADVISED TO TAKE THEIR VEHICLE TO A GM DEALER TO RECEIVE A SPECIAL EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR A PERIOD OF 10 YEARS/240,000 KM FROM THE DATE THE VEHICLE WAS ORIGINALLY PUT IN SERVICE. FOR 2005 AND 2006 MODELS, DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE STEERING COLUMN. FOR 2008 MODELS, THEY WILL REPLACE THE POWER STEERING MOTOR CONTROL MODULE. *TR

WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK, THE BRAKE LIGHT WILL AUTOMATICALLY COME ON AFTER ABOUT 3-5 SECONDS WITHOUT PRESSING THE PEDAL. WHILE DRIVING, THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL STAY ON UNTIL APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES. THE BRAKE LIGHTS WILL THEN TURN OFF WHEN THE BRAKES ARE PRESSED. ON MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES, I HAVE HAD OTHER DRIVERS FLAG ME DOWN WHILE ON THE ROAD TO TELL ME ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THIS ISSUE IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT SINCE THE DRIVER BEHIND YOU WILL HAVE NO INDICATION YOU ARE SLOWING DOWN SINCE PRESSING THE BRAKE TURNS OFF THE BRAKE LIGHTS. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER 2 YEARS NOW AND IS BECOMING UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I AM CONSTANTLY WORRIED DRIVING AT NIGHTS BECAUSE THE RISK FOR BEING REAR ENDED IS VERY HIGH. I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND REQUEST THE NHTSA RECALL THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. ALSO, THE CAR GETS STUCK IN PARK AFTER STARTING THE CAR. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE CAR OUT OF PARK IS TO REPEATEDLY PRESS THE BRAKE TO UNLOCK. *TR

RECENTLY SMELLED FUEL INSIDE CAR. PROBLEM WAS A LEAKING FUEL RAIL, WHICH I WAS TOLD WAS VERY UNUSUAL. $500 IN REPAIRS. THIS PART IS RARELY DEFECTIVE , VEHICLE HAS 47K MILES. OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT I AM LOOKING FOR SOME TYPE OF REIMBURSEMENT DUE TO THE SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN OF LEAKING FUEL IN A HOT ENGINE COMPARTMENT. *TR

A YEAR AGO DURING VERY HOT WEATHER IN WI THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT WORK. AFTER THE HEAT SUBSIDED THE CRUISE CONTROL WORKED AGAIN REGULARLY. IN THE LAST COUPLE WEEKS CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT WORKING AGAIN. FRIENDS FOLLOWING ME ONE DAY SAID MY BRAKE LIGHTS SEEMED TO BE ON WHEN DRIVING AND OFF WHEN BRAKING. A LOCAL MECHANIC REPLACED THE STOP LIGHT SWITCH AFTER RECEIVING THE CODE DURING A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. I WAS INFORMED HE COULD NOT TROUBLESHOOT THE CRUISE CONTROL PROBLEM AND IT WOULD NEED TO BE SEEN BY A DEALER. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING IF OTHER DRIVERS CANNOT SEE I'M BRAKING WHEN FOLLOWING. WHAT IS BEING DONE TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM THAT APPEARS TO BE A NUISANCE FOR MANY OTHERS? *TR

WHEN MAKING TURNS THERE IS A LOUD POP SOUND COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. ALSO I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH MY BRAKE LIGHTS COMING ON WHILE THE BRAKE IS NOT COMPRESSED AND GOING OFF WHILE THE BRAKE IS COMPRESSED. IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR-ENDED MULTIPLE TIMES DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE DRIVER BEHIND ME DOES NOT KNOW I AM SLOWING DOWN. *TR

AT LOW SPEEDS, DRIVING AROUND TOWN, WE HEAR A POPPING SOUND, THAT APPEARS TO BE COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. *TR

THE BRAKE PEDAL VIBRATES WHEN DISENGAGING THE CAR OUT OF PARK INTO DRIVE; SOMETIMES IT IS DIFFICULT TO GET THE SHIFTER OUT OF PARK. THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE CONSTANTLY ON WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING. THEN WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PUSHED, THE BRAKE LIGHTS TURN OFF. THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK EITHER; I BELIEVE BECAUSE THE CAR THINKS THE BRAKE PEDAL IS BEING PUSHED. UPDATED 8/22/13 *CN ALSO, THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT ENGAGE. HOWEVER, THE LIGHT WAS ON THE STEERING WHEEL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 PONTIAC G6. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS NOT BEING DEPRESSED AND THEY WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKES WERE BEING DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD INDEPENDENTLY ACTIVATE AND DEACTIVATE WHEN THE BRAKES WERE BEING DEPRESSED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN, BUT THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 75,000. *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS WORKED INTERMITTENTLY. SOMETIMES WHEN ACCELERATING, THE BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON AND WHEN ACTUALLY BRAKING, THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO OFF. SOMETIMES THE BRAKE LIGHTS JUST PERMANENTLY STAY ON. WHEN THE BRAKE LIGHTS ENGAGE INTERMITTENTLY OR PERMANENTLY, THE CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGES. HAD THE BRAKE PEDAL SWITCH REPLACED AND RE-CALIBRATED ON NUMEROUS DATES AT SHAHEEN GM IN MOUNT PLEASANT, MI. NOVEMBER OF 2012, RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO LUNGHAMER GMC DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED AND HAD THE ENTIRE BRAKE SENSOR SYSTEM REPLACED AND RE-CALIBRATED. ONE MONTH AFTER THE REPAIR, THE BRAKE LIGHTS BEGAN WORKING INTERMITTENTLY AGAIN. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DAGWOOD'S IN MOUNT PLEASANT, MI WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM WAS UNFIXABLE. DAGWOOD'S CLAIMED THAT THEY COULD REPLACE THE SWITCH AND RE-CALIBRATE AGAIN, BUT THAT THERE WAS NO GUARANTEE THAT THE PROBLEM WOULD NOT RESUME IMMEDIATELY AFTER PULLING IT OFF THE LOT. THIS IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM, IN WHICH I HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER FOR A COUPLE OF TIMES. HOWEVER, IT IS NOT A MATTER OF A SIMPLE "FIX-IT" TICKET SINCE THERE SEEMS TO BE NO POSSIBLE REPAIR. IT IS ALSO VERY DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING WHEN THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I HAVE NEARLY BEEN REAR-ENDED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHEN I HAVE BEEN BRAKING AND THE CAR BEHIND ME CANNOT TELL BECAUSE THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT GO ON. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION OF ALL OF THE TIMES THAT I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP IN ATTEMPTS TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION. *TR

IN NOV. 2012 COOLANT BEGAN TO LEAK FROM CRACKED RADIATOR. REPLACED ORIGINAL RADIATOR WITH NEW AFTERMARKET RADIATOR. IN FEB. 2013 COOLANT BEGAN SLOW LEAK FROM RADIATOR CRACK AND HAD REPLACED AGAIN WITH NEW AFTERMARKET RADIATOR. IN MAY2013 COOLANT BEGAN LEAKING FROM RADIATOR, REPLACED WITH NEW AFTERMARKET RADIATOR IN JUNE 2013. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 PONTIAC G6. IT HAS THE SAME FUEL PROBLEM THAT THE 2007 G5 HAS, THERE IS A HAIRLINE CRACK IN THE ELBOW ON THE FUEL PUMP & IS LEAKING GAS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE NEITHER. I NEED SOMEONE TO GET IN CONTACT WITH ME. I AM PAYING OUT OF POCKET TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED WHEN IT SHOULD BE THE MANUFACTURES ISSUE. I HAVE READ ONLINE & THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE SAME VEHICLE AS MINE WHICH RESULTED IN THE VEHICLE CATCHING ON FIRE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. I LIVE IN TEXAS & THE TEMPERATURE HERE GETS VERY HOT, SO THAT DOESN'T HELP THAT I HAVE A GAS LEAK ON MY VEHICLE. *TR

MY PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM LIGHT WENT OUT. WHEN I WENT TO REPLACE IT, NOTICED THAT ONE SIDE OF THE CONNECTOR WAS MELTED. WENT AHEAD AND REPLACED THE BULB ANYWAYS, BUT IT WILL NOT WORK. HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER SEVERAL TIMES. FROM MY RESEARCH ON HOW TO FIX THIS, I HAVE COME ACROSS COUNTLESS OTHERS ENCOUNTERING THE SAME PROBLEM FROM MODEL YEARS 2005-2009. *TR

THE FRONT ELECTRICAL PORT WAS BEING USED BY AN MP3 PLAYER FM TRANSMITTER WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS OFF. THE FM TRANSMITTER TURNED OFF, AND AFTER THE CAR WAS LEFT ALONE FOR A FEW MINUTES, SMOKE WAS COMING OUT FROM THE VEHICLE AND IT SMELLED OF BURNT PLASTIC. FM TRANSMITTER WAS REMOVED AND THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE WAS DISCONNECTED. THE SOURCE OF SMOKE WAS THE REAR TRUNK FUSE BLOCK WHICH HAD MELTED AROUND THE SITE OF THE FRONT ELECTRIC PORT FUSE. ONCE SMOKE CLEARED, NEGATIVE CABLE WAS REATTACHED. AFTER A COUPLE MINUTES OF CHECKING CAR ELECTRICAL FROM DRIVERS SEAT, THE FUSE BLOCK WAS CHECKED AND A SMALL FIRE HAD STARTED. THIS WAS QUICKLY PUT OUT AND NEGATIVE CABLE TO BATTERY DISCONNECTED AGAIN. ANY REMAINING METAL BITS FROM ELECTRIC PORT FUSE WERE REMOVED AND ONCE THE NEGATIVE CABLE WAS AGAIN REATTACHED, NO MORE SMOKE APPEARED. HOWEVER, PARK LAMPS WOULD NOT TURN OFF, CAR DID NOT KNOW TRUNK WAS CLOSED, THE LEFT REAR TURN SIGNAL DID NOT WORK (EVEN THOUGH IT LIT UP WHEN PARK LAMPS WERE LEFT ON). OTHER RANDOM BUTTONS ON DRIVER CONTROL PANEL DID NOT WORK (REAR DEFROST, BUT FUSE WAS FINE). *TR

BACK IN JUNE 2012 I NOTICED THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT ON THE RIGHT WAS OUT SO I TOOK IT INTO THE LOCAL SHOP FOR REPAIR. THE SHOP REPLACED BOTH BULBS. APPROXIMATELY FOUR TO FIVE MONTHS LATER I NOTICED THE SAME BULB WAS OUT AGAIN AND TOOK THE SAME ACTIONS. I REPLACED THE BULB. AROUND FEBRUARY 2013 I NOTICED THE BULB WAS WORKING INTERMITTENTLY AND FLICKERING ON AND OFF. THE LIGHT WOULD NOT COME ON DURING NORMAL OPERATION SO I WOULD POP THE HEADLIGHT CASING. AT THAT POINT THE LIGHT WOULD COME ON BUT AFTER DRIVING A FEW MILES I NOTICED THE LIGHT WAS OFF AGAIN! AT THIS POINT I HAVE JUST STARTED DRIVING WITH MY HIGH BEAMS JUST TO ENSURE I WAS ABLE TO SEE BECAUSE I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA. I RECENTLY RECEIVED TWO TRAFFIC CITATIONS FOR USING THE HIGH BEAMS AND DRIVING WITH FAULTY EQUIPMENT. I HAVE READ SEVERAL ONLINE POSTS THAT GAVE THE IMPRESSION THAT OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE LOW BEAMS ON THEIR G6 VEHICLES. IS THERE SOME SORT OF RECALL ON THESE BULBS OR THE WIRING THAT THE BULBS STREAM INTO? IF YES, PLEASE, PLEASE ADVISE. I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO KEEP CHANGING THESE BULBS EVERY SIX MONTHS AND HAVING TO PAY LABOR. I ALSO DON'T WANT TO RUN THE RISK OF GETTING CITATIONS JUST BECAUSE I HAVE TO USE THE HIGH BEAMS TO COMPENSATE BECAUSE OF THE FAULTY STANDARD LOW BEAMS. *TR

THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON THE CAR REMAINED ON WHETHER USING BRAKE PEDAL OR NOT. BRAKE PEDAL SENSOR AND CONTROL MODULE HAD TO BE REPLACED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD I CAME TO A STOP WHEN TRAFFIC AHEAD OF ME BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN. I WAS AT A DEAD STOP WHEN A CAR CAME SLIDING PAST ME IN THE GRAVEL TO THE RIGHT OF ME. WHEN WE GOT TO THE STOP SIGN THE DRIVER OF THAT VEHICLE INFORMED ME THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE INOPERATIVE. I FOUND THIS HARD TO BELIEVE CONSIDERING I HAD JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE A MONTH PRIOR. ABOUT A WEEK LATER I HAD A CAR HONK AT ME AND YELL OVER TO ME THAT I HAD NO BRAKE LIGHTS WHEN COMING TO A STOP. WHEN YOU START THE CAR, YOU CAN WALK AROUND THE BACK OF THE CAR AND SEE THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON, WITH NOBODY EVEN IN THE CAR. I HAVE FOLLOWED MY GIRLFRIEND WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND THEY FUNCTION THE EXACT OPPOSITE WAY THAT THEY SHOULD, THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ON THE WHOLE TIME YOU ARE DRIVING AND WHEN COMING TO A STOP THE LIGHTS GO OUT COMPLETELY AND DO NOT RETURN ON UNTIL YOU BEGIN ACCELERATING AGAIN. I HAVE HAD THE BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR REPLACED, CALIBRATED AND IT DID CURE THE PROBLEM FOR A MONTH OR SO, THEN THE PROBLEM RETURNED. NEXT I HAD THE "FIX" FOR THE BCM CONNECTOR PERFORMED, THE DIELECTRIC GREASE DID NOTHING. SO NOW THE PROBLEM REMAINS, EVERYDAY PEOPLE RIDE RIGHT ON MY BUMPER AND I FEAR THAT AN ACCIDENT CAN COME OF THIS, AND GM NEEDS TO FIND A FIX FOR THIS AND RECALL THESE VEHICLES ASAP. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 G6 WHEN SOMEONE PULLED UP BESIDE ME AND HONKED THEIR HORN TO GET MY ATTENTION. THE MAN INFORMED ME THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING BUT TURNED OFF WHEN I WENT TO BRAKE FOR THE RED LIGHT. I TOOK MY CAR TO BE FIXED AT A SHOP NEAR MY HOME, HE REPLACED THE SENSOR IN THE BRAKE PEDAL. WHEN I LEFT HIS SHOP IT WORKED PERFECTLY FINE. WORKING FINE ONLY LAST ABOUT 8 MONTHS WHEN I NOTICED THE REFLECTION OF MY BRAKE LIGHTS IN TRAFFIC SIGNS WHEN I WASN'T PUSHING ON THE BRAKE I REALIZED I ONCE AGAIN WAS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. SINCE I HAVE LEFT THAT FIRST SHOP IN 2010, I HAVE TAKEN MY G6 TO 2 DIFFERENT SHOPS WITHIN THE LAST 3 YEARS PAYING UPWARDS OF $500.00 TO GET THE SAME ISSUE RESOLVED EACH TIME. THE LAST TIME I TOOK MY CAR TO THE GMC DEALERSHIP (2 WEEKS AGO); THEY INFORMED ME THAT I HAVE BEEN THERE IN JUNE OF 2011, SEPTEMBER OF 2012 AND NOW JUNE OF 2013. THE HEAD TECHNICIAN TOLD ME HE "HAS NO IDEA WHAT THE ISSUE IS". HE UNPLUGGED EVERYTHING AND PLUGGED IT ALL BACK IN AND THEY WORKED FINE BUT THE ISSUE IS OBVIOUSLY NOT RESOLVED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 PONTIAC G6 GT SEDAN I HAD SOMEONE FLAG MY ATTENTION. HE SAID THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND SHUT OFF WHEN I WAS ACTUALLY BRAKING AT A STOP LIGHT. ALSO, THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NO LONGER IN OPERATION DURING THIS PERIOD OF TIME. I HAD THE BRAKE SWITCH REPLACED ON MY CAR. THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURRED AT RANDOM. I HAVE ALSO BEEN STUCK IN A FEW PARKING LOTS NOT BEING ABLE TO SHIFT MY CAR OUT OF PARK. I HAD TO RE START MY CAR SEVERAL TIMES AND WAIT FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD BEFORE THE CAR WAS ABLE TO SHIFT TO REVERSE SO I COULD LEAVE. I WAS ALONE IN THE DARK ON A SNOWY NIGHT FOR 30 MINUTES IN A DESERTED PARKING LOT THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED. THE BRAKE LIGHT MALFUNCTION COMES AND GOES THROUGHOUT THE YEARS SUBSIDING FOR A SHORT PERIODS OF TIME BUT THEN RETURNS AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT. THIS SPRING, THE PROBLEM HAS RETURNED NON-STOP AND I HAVE AGAIN, BEEN FLAGGED DOWN BY 3 OTHER DRIVERS TO INFORM ME OF MY BRAKE LIGHTS BEING ON WHILE DRIVING AND GOING OFF WHEN ACTUALLY BRAKING. I HAVE ALSO BEEN FOLLOWED TOO CLOSE BY MANY DRIVERS AND CUT OFF IN TRAFFIC SEVERAL TIMES. THE PROBLEM WITH THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS GOING ON AND OFF AT THE WRONG TIMES HAS BEEN CAUSING THIS TYPE OF ROAD RAGE TO BE AIMED AT ME AND I FEEL IT IS PUTTING ME AND MY PASSENGERS IN DANGER. IN ADDITION, I AM UNABLE TO USE MY CRUISE CONTROL ON THE CAR DUE TO THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS MALFUNCTION. I FEEL THIS PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS IS SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS AND COULD EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT
